Hi Nilson

I double the Sorensen recommendation, they are quite reliable in my experience and only needs a simple set of controls.

Also, some Keysight power supplies (e.g. E3642A) perform well and offer RS-232/GPIB, if that is more your speed.

Cheers
Scott

Subject: Re: Current Source / Power supply suggestion

Thank you Mark, Rod, Kurt and Heinz for the suggestions.

I will take a look at all suggested options:

- Caenels FAST-PS (LAN)
- Sorensen XHR Series (Analog+RS232)
- Manson HCS Series (Analog+USB)
- BK Precision (Analog+USB)
- Keysight/Agilent (LAN)

I have some EPICS controlled analog outputs available to use with the
more affordable type of power supplies, so all options are valid.

Thanks again for the help.

Best

Nilson
